This regime will admit and try to erase mistakes, at least in terms of free agency. It did so with Ernest Wilford. It did so with Wilson. That is a plus, and a difference from predecessors. Now, if some of their draft picks don’t develop (Pat White for one), we’ll see if they do the same.

That follows a good principle that most successful people in life follow; focus on what you have or do that is good and get rid of what isn't. If you have a player that isn't performing, eliminate the emotional feeling you have over them based off of where they were drafted or if you got them as a promising free agent, and cut the guy if that is needed. Focus your energies on your solutions. Porter was a drain to this team emotionally this offseason; they answered by eliminating him and not being sucked into the drama and divisiveness of that a player like that brings to your team.
